Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and departed from Sattin; and they came as far as Jordan, and lodged there before they crossed over.
Kashegari Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Shittim suka nufi Urdun inda suka sauka kafin su haye.
2 And it came to pass after three days, [that] the scribes went through the camp;
Bayan kwana uku sai shugabannin suka zazzaga sansani, suna
3 and they charged the people, saying, When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord our God, and our priests and the Levites bearing it, you shall depart from your places, and you shall go after it.
ba da umarni ga mutane, suna cewa, “Lokacin da kuka ga akwatin alkawari na Ubangiji Allahnku, da firistoci waɗanda su ne Lawiyawa, suna ɗauke da shi, sai ku tashi daga inda kuke, ku bi shi.
4 But let there be a distance between you and it; you shall stand as much as two thousand cubits [from it]. Do not draw near to it, that you may know the way which you are to go; for you have not gone the way before.
A ta haka za ku san inda za ku bi, gama ba ku taɓa bin hanyar ba. Sai dai ku ɗan ba da rata wajen yadi ɗari tara tsakaninku da akwatin alkawari, kada ku kusace shi.”
5 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutane, “Ku tsarkake kanku, gama gobe Ubangiji zai yi abubuwan al’ajabi a cikinku.”
6 And Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and go before the people: and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and went before the people.
Yoshuwa ya ce wa firistoci, “Ku ɗauki akwatin alkawari ku sha gaba.” Sai suka ɗauki akwatin alkawari suka wuce gaban sauran jama’a.
7 And the Lord said to Joshua, This day do I begin to exalt you before all the children of Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so will I also be with you.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Yau, zan fara ɗaukaka ka a gaban Isra’ilawa duka don su sani cewa ina tare da kai kamar yadda na kasance tare da Musa.
8 And now charge the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, As soon as you shall enter on a part of the water of Jordan, then you shall stand in Jordan.
Ka ce wa firistoci waɗanda suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawari, ‘Sa’ad da kuka kai bakin Urdun, ku shiga cikin ruwan ku tsaya.’”
9 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and listen to the word of the Lord our God.
Yoshuwa ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Ku zo nan ku ji maganar Ubangiji Allahnku.
10 Hereby you shall know that the living God [is] among you, and will utterly destroy from before our face the Chananite, and the Chettite and Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Amorite, and the Gergesite, and the Jebusite.
Ta haka ne za ku san cewa Allah mai rai yana tare da ku, kuma ba shakka a gabanku za ku gani zai kore Kan’aniyawa, Hittiyawa, Hiwiyawa, Ferizziyawa, Girgashiyawa, Amoriyawa da Yebusiyawa.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over Jordan.
Ku duba, akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji na dukan duniya zai yi gaba cikin Urdun kafin ku.
12 Choose for yourselves twelve men of the sons of Israel, one of each tribe.
Yanzu sai ku zaɓi mutum goma sha biyu daga kabilan Isra’ila, ɗaya daga kowace kabila.
13 And it shall come to pass, when the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth rest in the water of Jordan, the water of Jordan [below] shall fail, and the water coming down from above shall stop.
Kuma da firistoci waɗanda suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, Ubangiji dukan duniya, sun sa ƙafa cikin ruwan kogin Urdun, ruwan da yake gudu a rafin zai tsaya cik yă taru a wuri ɗaya.”
14 And the people removed from their tents to cross over Jordan, and the priests bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord before the people.
Saboda haka sa’ad da mutanen suka tashi don su ƙetare Urdun, firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin suka sha gaba.
15 And when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord entered upon Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were dipped in part of the water of Jordan; (now Jordan overflowed all its banks about the time of wheat harvest: )
Da kaka Urdun yakan cika makil da ruwa. Duk da haka da zarar firistoci masu ɗauke da akwatin alkawari suka tsoma ƙafafunsu a gefen ruwa,
16 then the waters that came down from above stopped; there stood one solid heap very far off, as far as the region of Kariathiarim, and the lower part came down to the sea of Araba, the salt sea, till it completely failed; and the people stood opposite Jericho.
sai ruwan da yake gangarowa ya tsaya, ya tattaru a wuri ɗaya ya yi tudu daga nan har zuwa wani garin da ake kira Adam kusa da Zaretan, ruwan da yake gangarowa zuwa Tekun Araba (Tekun Gishiri) kuma ya yanke gaba ɗaya. Sai mutane suka ƙetare kusa da Yeriko.
17 And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood on dry land in the midst of Jordan; and all the children of Israel went through on dry land, until all the people had completely gone over Jordan.
Firistocin kuwa da suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suka tsaya daram a kan busasshiyar ƙasa a tsakiyar Urdun a lokacin da Isra’ilawa suka ƙetarewa, har sai da dukan mutane suka gama ƙetarewa.
